Fréquence : 1 épisode/54j. Total Éps: 8

Many of you may know me as an actress in Michael Crichton’s Premier film “Westworld” in which I played Arlette, robot prostitute who seduced & gave favors to Richard Benjamin. Now Richard was a fantastic actor to work with especially because he knew I was uncomfortable having to disrobe and undress. Richard might have been uncomfortable during that scene but I never noticed a hint of it. Off-screen he was a happily married man to a beautiful and highly talented actress Paula Prentiss, known for her comedy roles in many films. I’d like to mention that when actors don't have any lines of dialogue, it’s not as easy as you would think. Without words, the character has little to work with. As an audience, think about it and imagine what or how You would convey your thoughts to another person if you were unable to speak. Well, if you don’t agree, try it sometime. It isn’t easy my friends. Also, it was inferred that handsome James Brolin was having his way with another saloon gal. FYI - As an aside, James Brolin is married to the iconic “Out of this World” Singer, Actress, Award-Winning Barbra Streisand. Meanwhile, Brolin's character was being pursued by the Man in Black, Gunslinger Yul Brynner who was brilliant, outstanding, and very scary. Mr. Brynner was best known for being the staunch King in the legendary film "The King and I" with Award-Winning actress Deborah Kerr. Now regarding television, there was a well-known series called The Green Hornet (Green Hornet Music.. )in which you may know me as VAMA, the One and Only woman in history to "ZAP" the Great, Incomparable Bruce Lee as CATO. During and between "takes" Bruce and I would talk at length about so many things but honestly He did most of the talking. He said he didn't easily open up to others but felt like he'd known me for a long time. That he felt safe & very comfortable. In The Batman 66 series (Batman Music) I was The Riddler's female villain "MOTH". I will be giving fans much to chew on when talking about the show's Hero Adam West, his sidekick Burt Ward and the forever Memorable Frank Gorshin. Certainly More to share at another time. There are a slew of many other series such as Bewitched with Elizabeth Mongomery and Dick York, Lost in Space, Bonanza, and my Introductory and very first role in Ben Casey as well as many other roles in which I guest-starred.

Bonanza, Lorne Greene, and Me

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

jeudi 3 novembre 2022 • Durée 25:12

Lorne Greene played a duo part, his starring role as Ben Cartwright as well as a look-alike Hustler, exact replica of Papa Ben Cartwright.

This was to be one of my favorite roles as I played Dixie Wells, a break from the simple pretty girl parts and given a character that I hadn't ever played before. You might say I was a Seductress.

I could slip into being a woman who'd been around and when I say "been around" I mean she'd worked in saloons and knew exactly how to entice men and wrap them around her fingers Big Time.

Actually, you fellows are no doubt aware of this species of females, AREN'T YOU???

As the character I was familiar with how to "work my feminine charms on my men as you'll surely pick up on & notice her strategies, etc. This was really a very fun part for me to play. And, If I may, the antithesis of who I was in real life. OH BOY!, this was a wonderful part Indeed and one I was excited to play...

Going forward, the whole Cartwright family was exceptional, exuding warmth and was special because they represented very good and honest Americans.

Each and every one of the actors in the Cartwright Family were Brilliant along with the devoted helper and cook Hop Sing played by Victor Sen Yung.

Before closing this fun and interesting segment, I want to mention that I was also chosen to play another part or role on Bonanza that will entice you, my audience, friends and followers. You will see in a totally different Bonanza segment, the lovely and talented Linda Crystal and me together. The title is WARBONNET.

Now, let’s get right into it.

Lorne Greene was wonderful and in my estimation, he enjoyed every minute of it. He would say to me during breaks, "this is a good switch for me. I can finally be a bad guy and surprise my audience.” I heard him utter some words under his breath, quickly looking at me saying, "you didn't hear that did you?" I said, "what"? he said good, you're not supposed to hear words that aren't meant for your ears. To tell the truth, I did hear it but I just wasn't going to go there...You know what I mean.

Mr. Greene loved switching back from the honorable Ben Cartwright, powerful head of one of the biggest family ranch owner in the territory, to a swindling hustler bad guy and may I say he did it with a great deal of finesse.

During lunch breaks, he'd go into his trailer but occasionally would come out and talk as he always had something to say but only when he was in the mood. Over all, he couldn't have been nicer and garnered a great deal of respect from all cast members and crew.

Oh, I want to add something about a specific scene of so-called passion with Ben Cartwright playing a dual part as the bad guy imposter and me, as the conniving wench hoping to luck out and entice some attractive man with her sensual charms, and make some money to get away from being a simple saloon girl selling those charms. Her character had always dreamed of falling in love with a rich man.

Thinking back to one day in particular, our Director, Lewis Allen, had become very interested in one scene he was directing. And since I was in that scene, I vividly recall from my vantage point that I could actually see our director’s reflection in a mirror on the wall that no one else could see, just me. Especially, NOT Even from the cameraman's POV aka "Point of view".

So YES, there was a passionate kiss I had with Ben Cartwright as the conniving look alike bad guy. And lest you forget, I was the only human being that could see the director’s reflection in that mirror. Now, to this day, I believe that, for an instant, I saw the director's eyebrows kind of flipping up and down as if He Was not only enjoying but living vicariously through the Ben Cartwright romantic scene. It might have been a nervous tick but I Don't Think So.

The War Between Gidget and Me

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

dimanche 7 août 2022 • Durée 26:57

I'd like to start by saying that within the first year of my acting career I was in five different television shows and one movie. Each and every one of those acting rolls were very different and I enjoyed them all. Therefore, it's rather interesting to go back and share with all of you an early time in my acting career as well as my personal life. Hope you're with me as I'm Absolutely with You.

One of my favorites was a role in a Television series known as "GIDGET" starring a fresh newcomer known as SALLY FIELD.

So, my friends, Here We Go !!

Today's Podcast Episode is: "The War Between Gidget and Me"

May I say, I was so excited actually "over the moon would be more like it" when I learned I'd been chosen by a known and respected Director, E. W. Swackhammer, to play Patty Cromwell; a somewhat snippy-snooty girl who thought she was "top of the line" in school. A girl that would get everything she wanted, and of course thought she was God's gift to any boy or guy.

Although, before I continue with Gidget, I'd like to tell a short & kind of silly story, actually, to me, a funny story. I want to talk about what in particular, can happen behind the scenes, on sets, and on television. There are times, once in a while, those unusual things occur and I want to share one of them, especially IF they're unusual or Funny!

Working with Directors can be lots of fun, sometimes difficult but always interesting. Why is that? Because there are times when the actor goes off script and is so far into the character that he or she is bringing to life more than the written script conveys. Check "Bewitched Episode #4 Agnes Moorhead vs Director".

I recall a specific director/No Name & not Gidget, who was in a good mood and seemed as if he was very relaxed and that, my friends, can be a good thing. Right!!

Most directors are spot-on serious, but I want to share something off the charts. There was a time, that one specific director was directing me in a scene and everything seemed to be going just peachy keen and fine. When all of a sudden he began to kind of giggle and then, out of nowhere yelled "CUT" in a firm voice in the middle of my scene which made Me nervous that I had done something wrong.

Green Hornet, Bruce Lee, and Me

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

samedi 11 juin 2022 • Durée 26:19

How are you today and did you enjoy my episode #5 BATMAN, Riddler, and Moth?

I'm always excited to learn about your thoughts, reactions and opinions. Just as you like to learn about what happens on the shows I've done as well as my life stories that you enjoy.

I think you know today will be about the GREEN HORNET.

The first day I recall going to the studio was Exciting and Truthfully, I Just didn't know what to expect although looking forward without question or any doubts.

The Director was Darrell Hollenbeck, a man who definitely knew his business.

Shortly after I met the handsome Van Williams playing dual parts transforming from businessman into the Green Hornet who fought for justice along with Kato. Also there was the very pretty Wendy Wagner as his assistant.

My character was Vama from outerspace and I was the very first female to ever ZAP DOWN and KNOCK-OUT Bruce Lee. This action became History !!

I met Bruce at the studio for the first time and believe it or not, there was an immediate friendship.

I'll explain .... For sure It seemed that right off the bat he and I clicked and Bruce began sharing many things in his life. The Green Hornet was his first acting role in America and as you know Bruce was a good looking guy and had been, of course a star talent in martial Arts Kung Fu in Hong Kong films. I believe that was the chief reason he was chosen as Kato to be the Kung Fu Protector of the GREEN HORNET !!!

Although Bruce never talked about his wife Linda that, coincidentally was My Name and well it could have been because my name was the same as his wife's that he may have felt an unexpected comfort level.

Batman, Riddler, & Moth

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

dimanche 8 mai 2022 • Durée 30:28

HI to my Friends, Fans and Followers.

I'm thinking about all of you with lots of Excitement, Humor, Drama, and how we will soon be traveling across the globe to foreign lands.. I'll be sharing my real life adventures that will surprise and possibly frighten some of you, as it did me, but know this ... I Am, without question, Very Much Alive! No doubt you definitely will get to know me in many ways during my life adventures that I haven't disclosed to anyone other than very close family members due to the dangerous encounters that came my way because of my naivety and lack of experience. So stay with me on Linda's Bumpy Ride.

Although before we go there, let's dip into some wildly crazy and fun experiences while visiting one of yours and my favorite shows "BATMAN" ... !!!

I know so, so many of us recall the excitement we felt in looking forward to the amazing BATMAN TV Series bi-weekly in 1966. Therefore Riddler & Moth will be featured in this week's 5th Episode "Ring of Wax" Part 1 and Give Em The Axe" Part 2 ... Whoa, Here We Go !!!

Closing my eyes, I have vivid memories of being introduced to many on the set of BATMAN and how thrilled I was to be cast in that show. After all, it was one of the highest rated and most watched shows on television.

I'll begin by saying the Director, James Clark, was wonderful and extremely respected by everyone. On the first day I was introduced to Adam West, aka BATMAN who was filled with warm smiles and glittering eyes as if he'd known me for ages. He was also helpful as he would ask if I had any questions and if there was anything in particular that I needed. Although it was only my first time on Batman, I remember that he seemed to go out of his way to want to accommodate and help me and thinking to myself what a delightful experience it was indeed.... Hummmm !!!

I want to say that many years later I would jog all around Santa Monica, up and down San Vicente and see fellow joggers there like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver (one of the Kennedy family) and also, surprisingly Adam West who had become Honorary Mayor of Pacific Palisades. Those who jogged in that area knew the stairs 180 and then after exercise, many of us would go to Patricks cafe in the canyon but right on PCH Pacific Coast Hwy and have coffee, breakfast or lunch, etc. , Just an amazing time!

I am Bewitched!

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

vendredi 18 mars 2022 • Durée 26:12

A Bewitching Experience

Hi Everyone, my friends, fans, and followers. I'm so happy to be here once again to share the many stories I have, to let you in on, and to reveal what's been happening in my life. To start, I've been traveling and missed you all more than you know. February was filled with going here and there and hope you all had a great Valentine's Day. Very Romantic!!! Ummmm!!!

By the way, in my 3rd Episode, I deliberately spoke of many intimate, personal feelings, situations and hope it wasn't too much for some of you. After all, the reason for my PC Episodes is to let you in on my life so you really get to know me. But hang on, because this Bumpy Ride becomes a far greater Bumpier ROAD than any of you can imagine.

In my 3rd Episode, I shared many intimacies that almost never are shared but I briefly mention a different or other Michael about whom you will learn in this 4th Episode.

I've had so many requests to share my fabulous "Three Wishes" Episode of Bewitched and I'm over the top with excitement to do so. As many of you already know I was "Buffy", the blond ninny that could barely see anything without her glasses.

Going back, I remember how everyone laughed on the set as I portrayed my character. And please keep in mind they, of course, would not dare laugh until "After a Take" as our Director William "Bill" Asher was known to be Moody, quick-tempered, and as a matter of fact, he would often yell at many of the actors in a way that was demeaning such as the beautiful and lovely Samantha played by Elizabeth Montgomery.

In my heart, I felt sad for her because, at that time, she was married to Bill Asher. I have many memories of Bewitched even though I did only one show. A wonderful gentleman was Darin (Dick York) who could be very funny and had a way of making everyone laugh, including me. He was a treasure-trove of wild and crazy stories that he'd begin talking about as everyone, except our Director, would break up and laugh about which of course definitely eased any tension on the set.

There was a scene in that show when I was in bed and had to answer the phone. It was perfectly innocent but when I answered the phone I accidentally sneezed and at that moment Bill Asher Screamed "CUT" and "I was mortified and immediately said "I'm sorry. He waited for everyone to be quiet and said "Take 2" a-n-d "Action"!

"Westworld, Crichton, and Me"

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

vendredi 21 janvier 2022 • Durée 26:30

Hi to Everyone, my friends, fans, and followers. I am your host, "Linda Gaye Scott". I hope You had a Wonderful Holiday Season, and "Welcome to 2022".

I believe this New Year can bring many exciting opportunities into ALL of our lives. So, be on a staunch Lookout !!!

**This "3rd episode" is an emotional one for me. So, let's stay together, hang on and travel with me on this Very Bumpy Road, Indeed.

Whoa “WELCOME”. !!!

Previously, on my 2nd Episode, I talked about why I was on the Cover of Jan and Dean Take LINDA Surfin, Jan mooning me on Sunset Blvd, Easter Vacation on Palm Cnyn Dr. in Palm Springs. Finishing school in Switzerland, AND Losing my Virginity,...

In this, my 3rd Episode, I skip forward 10 years, and talk about Westworld written and directed by Dr. Michael Crichton and some of this Episode is about Michael and me. Hence the name “Westworld, Crichton and Me” !

….One afternoon, I had just finished my jog, was totally out of breath, when my friend Jim Brolin was driving by and stopped to say Hi as he and his wife Jane were neighbors. We chatted for a minute or two and he asked me to come by for a glass of wine. I took a quick shower, got dressed and stopped by their place. We all talked a bit and shortly after he mentioned there might or could be a part in an upcoming film at MGM & of course, my ears perked as I was very interested.

Within a couple of days I had an appointment at MGM studios, where I had an interview for a role in an upcoming movie called "WESTWORLD" with Michael Crichton as Director. Who? I didn't know this director, never heard of him but anything can happen in Hollywood's film industry so I thought, it's MGM, a highly respected and well known studio, been around for decades and who, by the way, am I to question this opportunity!!!

I entered the MGM lot and was ushered into a building with long corridors and many doors. Next I was led into an office where I was introduced to a very tall gentleman. At first I was taken aback by his height which seemed to be at least 6'7" and soon after learned he was 6'9". He was youngish, about 30 but quite attractive.

Why I was on the Album Cover of "Jan and Dean Take LINDA Surfin"

samedi 4 décembre 2021 • Durée 28:28

Hi to Everyone, my friends, fans, and followers. I am your host, "Linda Gaye Scott" and very excited to be here FINALLY for our 2nd Episode.

which is ... WHY I was on the cover album of "Jan and Dean Take Linda Surfin".

I'd like to say a BIG THANK YOU to All of My listeners. YOU mean a great deal to me. You are extraordinary & have introduced me to a new chapter in my life that I never knew existed. Thru all of you, I'm learning about a different world I don't think I recognized, probably because I was such a private person.

Therefore with All of my heart, I want you to know"YOU ALL are AMAZING"!! Let's stay together and travel this Very Bumpy Road, Indeed.

Whoa “WELCOME”. !!!

In my first episode, I talked about my childhood surrounded by movie stars, and my grandmother being an award-winning actress.

In This, my 2nd Episode I'll introduce my high school years, experiences, crazy things that happened & WHY I was on the cover album of "Jan and Dean Take Linda Surfin".

IT ALL STARTED when Jan and Dean attended University High school (Uni-Hi) they were on the football team with adjoining lockers and "together" started singing and harmonizing in the showers with a number of other football players. Life was Good and Fun abounded.

Jan and Dean joined together in 1959 they recorded their first hit,“Baby Talk”.

As they became enthralled with the popularity of surfing they recorded a #1 hit in 1963 called “Surf City”!

Also, Little Old Laday from Pasadena was #3 and Dead Man's Curve was #8 and the "LINDA" recording reached #28 in Billboard's top 100!!

AND With That, They introduced a Dynamic, one-of-a-kind sound, ESTABLISHING their own place AS musical history was born.

Before I go further I'd like to talk a little more about my life, because I know you all are curious to learn more and know me better and why I was involved with Jan and Dean

Trading Cards. Ouch!

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

jeudi 21 octobre 2021 • Durée 21:11

Many of you have asked about how I became involved in the Film Industry. Well, to start, my Grandmother, "Martha Wentworth", was a well-known radio, television, and screen actress known as the "Woman of 100 Voices" winning awards and much recognition. Therefore you see, it was in my blood but not yet recognizable to me at a young age.

In addition, my neighbors were famous actors/actresses, celebs like Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Cary Grant, RodTaylor, Marlon Brando as well as countless others.

Perhaps Unknowingly I was already in the film industry.

Don't forget, this is My Life and it's a Bumpy Ride on the Bumpy Road Indeed.
